â??The Shadow of the Wind is ultimately a love letter to literature, intended for readers as passionate about storytelling as its young hero.â? â??Entertainment Weekly (Editor's Choice)

â??One gorgeous read.â? â??Stephen King

Barcelona, 1945: A city slowly heals in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, and Daniel, an antiquarian book dealerâ??s son who mourns the loss of his mother, finds solace in a mysterious book entitled The Shadow of the Wind, by one JuliÃn Carax. But when he sets out to find the authorâ??s other works, he makes a shocking discovery: someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book Carax has written. In fact, Daniel may have the last of Caraxâ??s books in existence. Soon Danielâ??s seemingly innocent quest opens a door into one of Barcelonaâ??s darkest secrets--an epic story of murder, madness, and doomed love.
